Yes , This blower has two prongs exposed for positive & negative with the third hole for your ext. cord's ground plug to fit right in. This is a great little blower with power to blow off your drive and curb after edging and you can blow off all the leaves from your deck or patio. My wife loves this unit and I do also.

Yes, it does accept a three prong grounded extension cord. If you have repaired your extension cord with a commercial three pronged plug I would be afraid it would be to big. My son was out blowing leaves this weekend with an orange 100' residential extension cord and it worked just fine.

I think you could safely use a heavy duty grounded extention cord with it. It has a grounded 3 prong plug. I leave mine plugged in continuously to an outside grounded outlet. I assume that it's the typical "cover your butt" safety warning that says not to use an extention cord.

It has three 2-pronged sockets. You'll need to get a grounded-socket adapter for 3-pronged plugs.

It's the three prong, so you definitely need an outlet that can accommodate it (or an adapter). These are so convenient. I like them because I have several very large plugs that take up half the outlet and so I can't use all of the plug holes. By using one of these, none of the outlets are covered up anymore by the large ones.

The plug (3 prong) is close enough to the bottom of the timer, that if you put the timer in the upper outlet, it will not cover the lower one. However, I am talking about a standard over/under outlet, with the ground prong below the other two. Other outlets may not be as friendly. I have not found one thing to complain about with this timer. It even keeps its setting for up to a minute, I think, while you replace the batteries. Perfection may be impossible to achieve, in real life, but this timer comes very close. That said, it is not the only type I use, because there are others that fit their particular purpose, as well or better, and are cheaper.

First one I ordered was 3-prong and it stopped working about 2 weeks after I got it. The second one I ordered (same link and everything) through a different seller, was 2-prong :/

No problem. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember it may require a 3 prong extension cord.

The cord is plenty long. However you can go to your local hardware store and purchase a 3 prong extension cord.

No, mine does not have three prong plug. FYI. This is a very loud fan on high. I bought it for my bathroom and not an office. On the second speed, I can stand the noise. And otherwise liked the size and look of it.

Yes it has the third prong for ground. I know they make adapters for non-grounded outlets but I wouldn't recommend it since you're dealing with water.

The "third prong" (the round post) is your ground post, so if you can only use two prongs, then just remove the round post or 3rd. prong. Of course by doing so means whatever you use these cables on, you appliance will not be grounded. You must have older wiring in you home. There is another way you can solve this problem, that is buy an attachment with only two prongs to plug your 3 prong into!

I don't remember if it uses a three prong. but you if you need an extension cord for the unit, you should get a a heavy duty electrical extension chord like the one you would use for an air conditioner or a 15 to 20ft electrical chord and these extension chords are three pronged and they work fine with the heater. If your outlet is not three pronged, you can always go the hardware store and get an 2 pronged outlet adapter : Coleman Cable 9901 3-Prong To 2-Prong Adapter, Grounding Outlet Converter, 2-Pack

No, I own three by two different comanies and they all have two prongs. You can buy a three prong adapter if you want to but most electrical outlets are grounded anyway.

In the US, you should be able to plug in two prong cables, power converters, etc. The third prong is for ground, so what ever you plug in with a two prong connector will simply not have a dedicated ground. But that should be ok, not everything needs a ground. If you are not in the US, or your house is not wired with three prong outlets, then you will not be able to use these cables and should return them.

This unit has a two-pronged plug, normal type. It doesn't have the 3-pronged with ground.

Rita, Yes, it does have a grounded plug (three prong). It's very important to have some sort of ground connection when you're dealing with liquid appliances. If your outlet does not have a (3) prong socket, you can purchase an adaptor that converts to a (2) prong (gray in color) and it comes with a wire or an eyelet that you can ground it using the screw in the power source socket. cover. I know this because I work at a hardware store also!

This light is only a double prong light. No third grounding prong. It should be fiine upright in your plug.
